THE NIGHT lLLUMINED.
a Magnificent Display of Fire.
Works at the StOrming of the Ice


Palace.
At ten minutes past eight O'clock last
night it was dark in the park where the
Ice Palace stands, save the great ice
structure was illumined With colored lights.
and some thousands of uniformed men
stationed near the palace held torches that
fiickered aud smoked, and cast q sickly
looking light for small space around them.
For an hour and a half every street and
walk leading toward the park from the
center Of the city had been beaten with the
feet of an eager crowd that hurried toward
the ice castle to witness the warfare
between the king Of the frozen region and
the monarch of the realm of fire. The Wis

large delegations from Minneapolis and
other neghbOring cities and the residents
of the SANITY city, OF all ages and classes,
on foot and in every kind Of vehicle. had
come to Central park and the points about
it from which the palace could be seen.
The ticket takers at the gateways to the
park had worked with frost numbed fingers
for over an hour. From every window
that commanded view of the glowing Struc-
ture looked from three to a dozen pairs of
eyes. The palace grounds had been almost
blackened by little knots of visitors who
picked their way through the snow, among
the little evergreen trees that have been
planted there. and allowed their noses 10
CONCEAL. Good judges said that 90, 600
people were looking at the palace and the
tiickering torches around it before the
storming began.
IT WAS COLD.
The sharp winter air of the afternoon had
grown sharper in the evening. y bit of a
wind blew steadily, driving the cold
through everything but fur. and tiuttering
the flags on the turrets Of the castle. There
was no moon, and the sky seemed
more black than blue, as poets
usually paint it on clear winter
nights. when the stars shine out clearly and
the air is frosty. When the clubs marched
through the gates there were movements of
the crowd toward their line of march. The
park was anything but quiet The COM
manderS were shouting to the men under
| them, half dozen bands and drum corps
were Screeching and rafting, and there
were constant cheers as the favorite clubs
appeared. The Indians in their tepeeS were
making a considerable section of the park
echo with the monotonOuS humping of
their alleged musical instruments and &C.

from the palace it was dark and cold and
noisy. The forces of the two
contending kings had all come
within the grounds and been stationed

those of the Fire King, who were to begin

Special to the GLOBE.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-An accident ac-
companied with loss of life occurred at the
South Chicago rolling mills this morning
The dead man is Charles Weislogle and the
badly burned are Peter Lungt, John
Wright. Jacob Sheppard, Thomas Hall,
and Thomas Davitt. The rail mill is about
twenty yards from the main works, and it
was in the former that the catastrophe oc-
CURED. Rails were being turned out at the
time, and the engine was running at high
rate of speed. Weislogle, the engineer.
was standing in front Of the fly
wheel, and the others were close
beside him, when, without warning. the
belt flew off the fly wheel. The wheel
turned on the axle at terrific rate. The
men endeavOred to escape, but
before they could do so the NAM
moth wheel broke into fragments.
Then an explosion followed. The missiles
flew in all directions and frightfully
mutilated the occupants of the room. A
chunk of iron weighing at least 500 pounds
was found i'll the engine room. The engine
ran away, so to speak, and within two
minutes the place was wrecked. The
other employees on hearing the detonation
rushed to the rail factory, and OF entering
the room found the place to be
virtually a slaughter house. The engine
was still running, but the lever was turned
back and it soon stopped, Weislogle was
breathing his last when found. He leaves
a wife and five children in poor
circumstances. Wright had both legs
broken and may not live. Hall
was badly burned by molten
metal about the face and body. Dayitt and
Sheppard are not dangerously hurt. Ply
Scans were at once sent for, and did every
thing possible to alleviate the sutferings of
the unfOrtunates. The body of the en-
gineer was taken to the morgue, and the
burned to the hospital. The damage is
placed at $40, 1000.

badly hurt. A trunk was put on the
train at Duncannon, near Harrisburg,
and was checked through to Pittsburg
Mingus was arranging the trunks in the
car. He picked up small ordinary trunk
and threw it on top of some other baggage.
An explosion followed which lifted the top
off the car as though it was made of paper,
and scattered fragments in all directions.
The shock was terrible and startled the
engineer and trainmen. 1t also attracted
the attention of the passengers, and when
it was found that the baggage car had been
almost blown to pieces the greatest excite

and the baggage transferred to another car.

He said he was Hungarian coal miner

meeting of the Northwestern Freight asso-
